This rod has a knurled head 24 for operating the rod, and the receptacles 19 are mounted on this bar 21. It will"b'e apparentthat by turning the rod the supporting bar 21 may be raised to clamp the necks of the bottles against the closures 20 ,or l oweredoto remove them fro-m the closures. After they are thus lowered the cover 16 may be slid rearwardly as indicated in Figs. 4: and 5, to expose the receptacles to give access to theink.

or easy manipulation. of ,the covers they are provided witha raisedjrib 25 on the front edge thereof to give an easy grip for the operator in drawing the cover forwardly to the closing position. 1

. In Figs; -6'and7, I have shown a slightly difierent mechanism, for raising and Llowering'lthe supporting bar 21 In this form the bar is mounted on a rod; 267 extending through the panel 23, but pivoted to its upper end is a-canrele1nent 27 having an eccentrically arranged surface 28 and a handle 29f-for operation By' swinging this I handle to "the vertical position shown in'Fig.

6 the ink receptacles are lowered away from the closures 20, but by swinging it to the position shown in Fig. 7 the eccentricsurface '28 c'oactingwith the top of the panel will lift the bar 21 and clamp the ink bottles against the closure. This device is va little quicker and simpler inoperation than the screwshown iniFigs; 1 to 5, (as-it maybe fthehandlen v t: In the. rear part ofthe cabinet I provide a longitudinal partition 30 forming the}bot tom, of a compartment .31 a for papers, pensor other articles,fand this compartment is closed by -a movable cover 32.;

e In Figs. 8 to 11, I haveshowh a slightly different construction, This cabinet comprises the rearwall 10, end walls l1 and frontwall 12, the same as in the first form.

In the presentconstruction the vertical transverse'partitions 36 divide this part of the cabinet, ,into'fthree} compartments and 38; :The, end'fcompartments 37 contain the ink receptacles for bottles 19, but in this form they are stationary. The rear wall 10 I and vertical partition 33 are provided with guides for'sliding covers39 for these two end compartments, these guides in the preferred construction taking the form of grooves 40 extending"longitudinally of the 46 to remove it from the cabinet 1 invention, what I claim is:

closures to close the receptacles and to of the lower compartment" 34 is" closed] ya removable cover 46. This cover'carries vertical members -17 having notches or recesses 48 in their upper edges to provide racks for supporting pens and pencils, and theyalso provide suitable meansfor lifting the cover and give access to the compartment '34:.
